Want to know what you'll not be getting any time soon from EA and Bioware's Old Republic MMO? Here's the skinny.
So, as discussed, Star Wars: The Old Republic is getting a limited release that effectively locks out large swathes of the world from the game. We think it's a good thing, but a lot of people aren't so sure.
This effectively makes every release we get from EA on the game one giant cock-tease. So if we're getting teased, then we're sharing the pain. Here's what The Old Republic CEs are shaped like, that we cannot buy here:
Star Wars : The Old Republic Collector’s Edition – TheCollector’s Edition includes a host of virtual in-game and physical items for the ultimate Star Wars fan.
